Safety In Our Community
We say safety first and always, and focus on safety training for employees.
Sometimes, our employees find themselves in situations that require quick thinking, as well as safety and first aid training. Here are a few of their stories.
Jamal Thomas rescued three from a house fire
Jamal Thomas jumped into action in his Mattapan neighborhood of Boston to rescue neighbors from a house fire.
When Jamal, a Senior Safety Advisor, noticed his neighbor’s house was on fire, he jumped into action and rescued three women from the building.
“It was a combination of instincts, life experience, and my safety training that helped me that day," he said.
See Jamal in this WCVB news report.
